  Descripción

  Our art residency is a mountain cabin suitable for budget Travelers, artists, and socially conscious travelers. With a keen interest in addressing poverty, community mental health and assisting local dreams, the project allows you to get socially involved with local art, traditional games and cultural activities.
  
  
  Located in Semonkong village, on the south east of Lesotho, this place is surrounded by a tranquil beauty, and unwavering authenticity. Mannini the founder lives in close proximity with the residence, with her mom and younger brother.
  activities such as horse riding, birds viewing, and creative story telling is part of the ebb and flow of life in this enchanting corner of the world.
  The life in the residence mirrors the every day life of the ordinary people of Semonkong Lesotho. For example, we use basic solar lights, we fetch water from springs, wash in a basin, and use a compost toilet. And although we have a basic gas for cooking, it's very common to also cook some of our food on wood.
  
  But above all, we believe that art plays a huge role in allowing us to express who we are in ways that may not be achieved by words alone. So if you are an artist or someone eager to explore other creative mechanisms of sharing skills, exchanging culture, or expressing an important message through a song, game, dance etc Art Residency is a suitable home for you.
